20 Low-Carb and Gluten-Free Dad-Friendly Grilling Ideas for Father's Day

For every health-conscious dad who loves food from the grill, here are 20 Low-Carb and Gluten-Free Dad-Friendly Grilling Ideas for Father's Day! Most of these recipes are also Keto and South Beach Diet friendly as well, and some are Paleo and Whole 30 approved. Use the Recipes-by-Diet-Type Index to find more recipes like this one.

Holidays are important, partly because of the way they remind us about what's important in our lives. When I was a kid, I took for granted having the world's greatest dad, and I just assumed we'd be honoring him on Father's Day every year.

Then I got older and realized some people have dads who abandon their kids, are abusive, or don't set a good example, and I became even more thankful about the way I'd hit the jackpot in the parents department. (My mother who died in 1998 was also an amazing person.) Now I'm in a different phase of my life, and every year on Father's Day I know I'll be thinking about how much I miss my Dad.

For many years I always had a big extended family barbecue the night before Father's Day, something Dad always enjoyed even when it got hard for him to leave the assisted living center where he spent the last few years of his life. The menu varied every time, but there was never any doubt it would include Shrimp and Macaroni Salad, my dad's very favorite food, and something I always enjoyed making for him.

If you're lucky enough to be spending Father's Day honoring your dad, I hope you'll have fun making it a special occasion for him. And if you're going to be cooking on the grill, all these recipes are my picks for "Dad-Friendly" ideas that are special enough for a party honoring Dad on his special day.

Lovely post, Kalyn. So many great recipes to make all the dads happy. :-) Think I'll make the easy grilled mushrooms for my son's dad (dear hubby) when he returns from his scuba diving trip. I took barbecue to my dad yesterday and I think there will still be some left tomorrow when I visit them, so instead I'll make a treat of some type for him. He has a bit of a sweet tooth. ;-)
